I opened the Trouw Nutrition FytoVision Event by explaining how the loss of biodiversity and bitter compounds from our diets is quietly reshaping our physiology.
As our food environment becomes more simplified and ultra-processed, we are removing layers of biochemical complexity that humans co-evolved with for millennia …and our bodies are starting to show the consequences.
At the same time, we’re seeing an explosion in the popularity of GLP-1 drugs: a powerful signal that something is fundamentally off in our metabolic landscape.
While these tools have their place, they also highlight a deeper question: what happens when we outsource the work that biodiversity, botanicals, and dietary complexity were designed to do for us in the first place?
